Gáspár Miklós Tamás, philosopher, political analyst, journalist and politician, has emigrated again, this time towards a more discreet, distant and hardly perceptible world, a world where he should no longer have to fight with borders, with corruption or with hypocrisy.
Spoiled by his near friends as Gazsi, largely known as G. M. Tamás, he has proved that it is possible to be a universal citizen without detaching yourself from the reality in which you breathe, you can be fully informed without deforming yourself and, in turn, you can communicate without wishing to dominate, to impose, to kill.
Born in Cluj in a mixed family, with a Jewish mother and a Hungarian father, he understood, through his own training, the contradiction between the universal and nationalism, between the absolute and the borders, between populism and the claims of majority popular support. We will later find all these in his essays and books, in speeches and sparkling conversations, already regretted by all who knew him.
